Yep, not had it long, but I can't find a buyer for my 172, and it's stupid having two cars. Best car I've driven, will be sad if it goes. If the Trophy goes first, I'm still going to sell the 172, then buy a ph1 172, coilovers, cams, respray.
Each to there own, but I found the cupped 197 the better handling car, with better steering weight and a more serious dynamic focus. Standard is more focused on ride, cup more on handling.
Yep, driven both. For me, it's the same as the 182, 182 without cup packs is far less desirable than with. The second hand market in 2 years will prove this (as it has with the 182's).
Each to there own. I've driven the options you're looking at, but you may want different things from a car. Asking people's opinion on here is a waste of time. You won't get an honest unbiased opinion, the 197 owners will tell you to get a 197, the Trophy owners tell you to get the Trophy. Go...
